Thomas Vermaelen has said that his first season with Barcelona was "terrible", despite the club winning the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
The Belgium international joined the Catalan side from Arsenal last summer, but sustained a thigh injury which kept him on the sidelines for the majority of the season.
The 29-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I got a medal, but you don't feel like you have won the treble. I was very happy for the team, but it's not like I contributed a lot for the cups we won.
"I am very happy and very pleased to be back. There's nothing better than to feel fit. Last year was terrible. It was a nasty injury, a very difficult one and I am very happy that the feeling in the legs is perfect again, like it should be.
"I feel 100% now. We just started pre-season so I am adapting still but I had 60 minutes against a good opponent so I am very pleased with that."
Vermaelen made his La Liga debut in the final match of the season.
